As bad as this situation is, it pales in comparison to the amount of money wasted legally by US defense contractors. Hell, look at the F-35 program. Right now, its development costs are projected to be $60 Billion (with a 'B'). And of that $60 billion, Lockheed is going to make $6 billion free and clear despite their absolute incompetence in every phase of this program. Even if one of these women made $80 million off their relationship with one of these generals, they are still only wasting 1/1000th of what Lockheed is wasting in the F-35 program.
